HiBob

Pros: We love the socially engaging, easy to use interface. The home page really connects our global team with updates on what is happening across the business and strengthens our culture. The talent tools for surveying across all stages of the lifecycle has been the driver of much process improvement, development opportunities and always sharpening our practices and engagement levels. The new improvements to the job catalogue and AI across the platform have been great. Such a time saver!

Cons: The time off function is complicated and clunky and doesn't integrate well with our other tools, leading to inefficiency - if only the payroll function would come for AU :) Pricing on some of the add-ons has been high so we have not engaged with them but it integrates well with our chosen ATS and LMS.

Pros: It's a good tool for all the HR-related topics, such as requesting time off, uploading/reviewing/signing all the necesary documents, conducting performace reviews and 1-on-1 meetings.

Cons: I would change a bit the interface and the structure of the website. The structure of the website is not very straightforward: it was not easy to figure out that there are two tabs: Bob and Talent, so I couldn't find right away the space for my 1-on-1 and performance review. The colours and the design of the website could have been better too.

Pros: It allows me to have access to my confidential and company documents. It also allows me to communicate within my company with different team members from a different program.

Cons: All over it has a smooth operation. The only things what I would have more better are maybe able to have more access to our fully integrated emojis while making posts.

Pros: Simple and intuitive to navigate. Integrations with slack and approval process is great addition and makes efficient.

Cons: org chart mapping feels clunky and requires admins. doesnt feel scalable to continue using for companies +500

Pros: Simple user interface but enough API integration with our SSO to enhance security. We also utilised HiBob for onboarding and offboarding which triggered alerts for other departments to carry out tasks and also for carrying out internal reviews every six months.

Cons: The cost was high for a recognise HR platform and these costs increased a couple of times a year. Overage charges were not at the same rate so often went above what we had budgeted for.

Pros: - The platform is user-friendly and visually clear, which made it easy to manage my time off, view company holidays, and keep track of personal information - I appreciated the transparency — being able to see the org chart, team structure, and who’s out of office helped me stay better connected with colleagues - It centralised a lot of useful resources like policies, documents, and feedback in one place

Cons: - Some features, like performance feedback and goal tracking, felt underdeveloped - Navigation could be improved, I often have to click through multiple menus - There are times when notifications or updates haven't come through clearly

Pros: I like the look, it's very friendly and I like the org chart and directory. You can do some good custom fields and I like that it supports all countries.

Cons: I wish the settings and reports could be more robust. Also, the way to search through employees could be easier. The customer service is hard to get a hold of at times.

Pros: So far, so good. I think for a platform i did not know before, and the fact that the market is so competitive. It's impressive to see the quality of HiBob

Cons: Navigating the menus can sometimes be complicated because of top many options and menus being displayed. This might be an internal issue that said

Pros: Clean dashboards, very user-friendly, highly customizable, good support, easy to learn, and good integrations and other features like engagement surveys built in

Cons: Performance management tool section needs some upgrade, and limited ATS (recruitment) integration functions, so need a separate tool for that part of the employee lifecycle management

Pros: I like the UI, good use of space on the webpage and allows an employee to see shoutouts, essential links, upcoming work anniversaries, new hires etc. Quite intuitive in terms of sections of the different tabs, very easy to navigate around.

Cons: None for my use case, functions very well so far. If I had to nitpick, I'd say to give an option for dark mode users.

Pros: Bob has been super easy to use. It has been appealing to the eye. It has really eased the workload around the office.

Cons: I do not have any negative comments about Bob. I have enjoyed using the program and would recommend it to friends and other coworkers with businesses.

Pros: The user interface is excellent, intuitive, clean, and easy to navigate. The reporting features are robust, offering all the insights and data you need from both an HR and recruitment perspective.

Cons: This is a bit of a double-edged sword for me, personally, I’m not a huge fan of having separate pages or tabs for the different products, like Talent and standard Bob HR. That said, I understand the reasoning behind it, and can see the benefits of keeping them distinct. It likely comes down to personal preference.

Pros: Very engaging and user friendly product with high functionality for HR requirements

Cons: Higher price point, no native payroll that integrates seamlessly in Australia when last reviewed.

Pros: Requesting vacation or sick leave only takes just a few clicks, and I get real-time updates on the status of my requests.

Cons: The app is slightly clunky to use and some parts are hard to navigate. Payroll breakdowns are optional for HR to fill out so it would be great to have a clearer view of deductions and tax breakdowns without having to reach out to HR. The social feed and engagement features are nice to have but not somthing I am particularly interested in.

Pros: What used to be Pento before they bought it and fired all the customers.

Cons: Terrible communication. They bought Pento payroll software then stopped anyone using it who has less than 50 employees. This was AFTER they told me I could continue using it and then dropped the news with less than a month to go. Truly shocking. If they do this they could screw you over at any minute.

Pros: It has all the features you would expect for employee and people management. The org chart is very helpful.

Cons: It's too invasive. It asks for things like photo and age without specifying where that information is used. Since Bob has "public" employee profiles, I don't know who can see what. I think HR software should be explicit about where they are publicizing personal information for your colleagues to see.

Pros: It doesn’t feel too corporate, fits well with the startup/scaleup culture we have. Easy to record absences and find team information easily too.

Cons: Mobile app doesn’t quite have the same features as the desktop site.

Pros: hi Bot is trully popular solution within HR managers. So they use it on the top of finger tips. In includes onboarding, time and event tracking and connectivity to payroll system. Priced affordably for every size of business. Good is build in Microsoft AUTH module not only Google that makes sence. Very logical embedded menue logic in interface.

Cons: Would be good to have build in sophisticated Aplicant Tracking System with sourcing from 3D party profiles. Not large variety of payroll providers (Xero) but could be issue for international contractors. Good to have password manager for direct user assignments and information record about user hardware received from company.

Pros: Bob is really multifaceted and has filled a lot of gaps we have as a smaller People team. It honestly is a bit more than we need at our org size, but I can toggle off things we don't utilize, which is super helpful. Being in several countries Bob was an easy call to make because the level of detail is there for things like holidays and what information we need for folks based on their locations. The integrations to our other tech stack are also amazing compared to other systems we have utilized.

Cons: Some of the processes to set things up seem to be over complicated, but support is usually able to assist and there is a very robust library to problem solve with. The reporting can take a bit to learn how to get what you want but once you do it's actually really great.

Pros: As an employee, I find the interface to be very comfortable to locate information regarding my own employment, as well as submit time off notifications, etc. As a manager, while obviously the platform is only as useful as the information and features that our HR team chooses to include/utilize, I find the platform to be intuitive and clear - something which is not the case for many other products.

Cons: As noted above, I find the tool to be rather comfortable and do not have specific critiques. I believe our team could likely utilize more features, but that is obviously a calculous of time needed to set up more functionality as compared with competing demands in a rapidly scaling business.

Pros: Ease of use and navigation, works well fro what it is

Cons: Limited options, other sites/apps offer many other features

Pros: I have used many tools like this and Bob is by far the best. In terms of interface it is very pleasant on the eye. The UX is top notch giving users an easy and effective way to navigate. I love the organizational structure feature as well, very simple to use.

Cons: Almost nothing, you have to almost make something up to fill this space as there really isn’t a lot wrong with it.

Pros: The platform's user-friendly interface is its standout feature—navigating through Bob feels intuitive and efficient. it is really easy to request time off and check on events. Additionally, the focus on employee-centric features like the culture hub and pulse surveys fosters a sense of community and are pretty fun

Cons: Bob excels in many areas, the mobile app feels a bit limited compared to the desktop version, particularly when it comes to accessing detailed analytics and reports. There’s also a slight learning curve for non-tech-savvy users when setting up complex workflows or integrations with other platforms.
